~JV~ submitted a new resource:

Pokémon Mart - A Mart adapter for buying actual Pokémon

What is this?
A script for creating a Mart for buying Pokémon in the same style as the regular one. It is intended to be plug'n'play and pretty easy to use. This was born from a discussion on Discord and was made with a intention to show how easy it is to create a interface for buying (and selling) anything using any currency. This was made in under 30 mins and should be a good example on how to expand the regular mart feature. I have no plans on expanding this any...

Hi, I'm trying to implement this awesome script, but get this error. As I am total noob in this area, I don't really know how to solve this. The issue may be that I'm using an older version of Essentials. To be more specific, I use a Pokémon Reborn as a base to create my own game...
By any chance, do you have some idea how to solve this?

See where it says "Uninitialized constant PluginMananger"? That's telling you that "PluginMananger" hasn't been defined in your game, and the game's having an error because this script is referring to the plugin manager here:
Ruby:
Expand Collapse Copy
PluginManager.register({
  :name => "JV's Pokémon Mart",
  :version => "1.0",
  :credits => "JV",
  :link => "https://eeveeexpo.com/resources/464/"
})

The plugin manager was a featured added in v18 of Essentials. You could download a copy of it and just copy the script from there, or you could just remove this part of the script, since it's not required to make it function.

Thanks, that was heplful and it solved the problem. I was able to implement the script and set up an event.
But...now I get this error instead.

That's saying that pbMessage isn't working with the code, which is weird, because that should just be defined by default. I'd suggest checking in Messages and making sure this is there:
Ruby:
Expand Collapse Copy
def pbMessage(message,commands=nil,cmdIfCancel=0,skin=nil,defaultCmd=0,&block)
  ret = 0
  msgwindow = pbCreateMessageWindow(nil,skin)
  if commands
    ret = pbMessageDisplay(msgwindow,message,true,
       proc { |msgwindow|
         next Kernel.pbShowCommands(msgwindow,commands,cmdIfCancel,defaultCmd,&block)
       },&block)
  else
    pbMessageDisplay(msgwindow,message,&block)
  end
  pbDisposeMessageWindow(msgwindow)
  Input.update
  return ret
end
Are you using a version before v17? That's when pbMessage was added.

This is telling you that you have a syntax error. That means that something has a typo in it, something misspelled or some stray character.
pbPokemonCreaturesMart([
[:TREECKO,0,5],]
])
That last comma there, the one I bolded, that needs to be removed. It's telling the game to expect something after it, but there's nothing afterwards but the closing bracket, so it has a syntax error.

This will be the problem! I am using Pokémon Reborn as a base which is built upon an older version of Essentials, although heavily modified. I have only PokemonMessages, not pbMessage and I believe these two do basically the same thing, but they use different names to call it. Or I am completely wrong :D

But after I added this piece of code, another error popped, which said I'm undefined method 'pbCreateMessageWindow'
So my wild guess is I keep adding these until it works? Hope it won't break something else...

Okay, I've done exactly that and it works! I've added about five or six defining things. The only issue I see is that the pokémon does not disappear after being purchased, so in theory it can be purchased multiple times. And I'm not sure whether this is a bug or not...

Yay, I'm glad that worked!

I think that's the intended function, since it's supposed to be like the mart, which has an unlimited supply. I know of a way to have a vendor sell something once, but it wouldn't have the UI of the mart...

Thanks for your help and your reply! I'm glad I was able to put this together. And yeah, I tested it in Essentials v.18 and it's supposed to be unlimited stock. Which is somewhat strange to me, but hey, I guess it does not matter, if I want something else, I can do it via events...

Heyah !
Sorry to dump that threrad, but I'm working on a little game, and I'd love have this on it.

The issue is that I'm using Pokemon Essentials 19.1 (with Gen 8 support) and it just doesn't work.
Seems there's an issue with the fact that the script uses the PBSpecies, but I don't want to break anything with my limited knowledge.

If there's any tip / help for that to make it work, it'd be amazing.
Thanks <3

Edit : I've found the fix somewhere, but maybe it'd still a good thing to update ?

I know this was an old post, but if you still need it, and for anyone else looking, this should work in V20. I'm using it in my game. You can delete the top portion, where the stocks are, if you want to define them yourself in the event. I prefer to put them all in one place and imo, it's faster to type here than set up an event. To call it with the predefined lists, just use pbBlackmarket(Pseudo), pbBlackmarket(Starter), or pbBlackmarket(Legendary). You can still call pbBlackmarket([[:PIKACHU,12000,10]]) if you'd like. Feel free to change Blackmarket to whatever you want, just make sure you change all instances. I'm in no way a ruby programmer, but it works in my game, and I've tested in a clean copy of V20.
